If you're SC and could get into Phase 2B in ACSP, you might get a chance.Area residing - chancery
Schools aiming - acsp/sjij
Kid - #1/boy
Anyone has insights on the two schools? Thanks
If you're SC and could only get into Phase 2C, your chance is higher with SJIJ.
If you're SPR, your chance is very low (almost none) to get to both schools. -
Yes he’s SC. Thanks. Any idea of school culture?

Not sure about school culture, but you'll benefit more from the affiliation in ACSP as the cut off point for ACS secondary schools are low, unlike SJI. But if you're not eligible for Phase 2B for ACSP, it would be hard to get in.
FYI, for the past few years, only those within 1 km could get into ACSP and the balloting in Phase 2C is fast & furious.
If you're within 1 km to SJIJ, you should be quite safe to secure a place in Phase 2C, but of course situation might change and you might have to ballot if it's oversubscribed. But no worries, the balloting situation would not be as bad as in ACSP.
If you're within 1 km from ACSJ, you can consider that too. -
Thank you.

Oh My Gosh:

That's because need to start early if you want to go for Phase 2B. It's considered late for some of the routes such as grass root leader or clan association. -
My boy is born in Nov 2011. My husband is an alumni of both Catholic High Primary (Bishan) and Princess Elizabeth (Bukit Batok). We currently live in Bukit Batok but am considering whether to move to Bishan if we decide to enroll boy in Catholic High Primary... any comments about the two schools?

go back to Catholic High primary, got good affliated Secondary school awaiting your son. He can have peace of mind studying there, for next 10 years, from Primary 1 until Sec 4.My boy is born in Nov 2011. My husband is an alumni of both Catholic High Primary (Bishan) and Princess Elizabeth (Bukit Batok).

The standard of Catholic High, is also academically higher than that of Princess Elizabeth.
since your husband is an alumni (means Phase 2A(1)) :
no need to shift house, whatsoever.
You can call up school now, confirm if school bus go your house.
after checking, if school bus arrive your house at 5.30 am that type of timing (means your son have to wake up at 5 am, to get ready for school), consider drop Catholic High. Reason ?
Your family will find it hard to \"tahan\", wake up everyday for next 6 to 10 years, at 5 am. Then, just enrol him into Princess Elizabeth.
But, if school bus fetch your son around 6.15 or 6.30 am timeframe, then is ok, go back Catholic High.
it makes a world of difference : between waking up 5 am daily, vs. waking up half an hour later to 1 hr later, every day, in the long Term.
But, if after checking, no school bus go your area : then, just enrol him into Princess Elizabeth (Bukit Batok), nearby your house. Unless you or your spouse have car, can transport him to school every morning for the next 6 years, on your way to work, come rain or shine everyday. Or unless you shift nearer to Catholic High. If stay nearer to school, school bus fare also cheaper.
the timing of the school bus, fetching your child : is crucial, over next 6 long years ahead, including transport for CCA days.
for children born 2009 onwards :
CCA become part of the New Psle Banding assessment evaluation criteria

This is also the time, to compare & contrast what CCAs are available in Catholic High, vs. Princess Elizabeth, for your son to choose from. -
Are here any public primary schools in Singapore which don’t overly focus on academic? Currently my son is in an international school in JB and the reason we moved there is to get out of the rat race in Singapore. He is enjoying his school very much and I love the school’s philosophy. A very well-rounded education and healthy for kids’ growth. Am very worried when we eventually move back to Singapore and have to attend primary 1 there. I don’t have enough money to send him to an international school in Singapore.

public primary schools in singapore are mainstream and follow MOE guideline...as such, the focus is very academic.
